Local Issue that i think is important here in Memphis

If you think of a community as being a body, not unlike our own physical body, then it is governed by the local executive office like the mayors office. The mayors office is the commands the community just as the brain commands the body. However, The body doesn't always listen to the brain unfortunately.

The blood can be thought of as the life force of a body. This equates to the monetary system a community has in regulating independent businesses its "Limbs" if you will within the body of the community.

The work force pumping the blood(money) is one of the most important aspects. These can be thoguht of the organs that drive interactions within the body.

this complex system has to be in tune, if one organ fails, then the limb malfunctions, which in turn disrupts the body, or the community. This disruption if left to manifest can become a disease. When looking at a community in this way, you can get the feeling of why it is important to balance all aspects thoroughly.

Memphis is a community that i see as a body. It is dependent on all of its different limbs to function properly. These limbs in turn depend on the organs to function right. these organs depend on the blood. and the blood is what can enrich or corrupt the body.

My topic is somewhat of a diagnosis of the problems Memphis faces as a body, and what can be done to fix them. However the impracticality of actually accomplishing these proposals are very slim, it does not discourage the urgency i have to at least identify them in a way that can be helpful to get others to see the problems that we Memphis face as a join unit. because the fact of the matter is, limbs don't work by themselves.
